Tomey Data Transfer - Software
The software typically comes in two forms:
In a post-pandemic world, remote reading is essential. With effective data transfer software, a technician in a satellite clinic can capture a Tomey OA-2000 biometry scan, and the software instantly transfers it to a surgeon’s home workstation for pre-operative planning.
| | Description & Considerations | Protocols & Settings | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1. Choose Your Path | Decide between "DATA Transfer" (standard) or "TOMEY Link" (optional network system). | Consult your device's manual for specific version support. | | 2. Physical Connection | Connect the Tomey device and the target PC. USB is common for direct, simple setups. LAN is used for network integration. | Ensure all cables are securely connected and the network is operational. | | 3. Computer Settings | For LAN , you must set static or DHCP IP addresses for both the device and PC. Record the PC's IP and Subnet Mask. | Consult your network administrator. Settings are often found in the "Output Setup" menu on the device. | | 4. Device Settings | On the Tomey instrument, navigate to the data communication/Output Setup menu. Input the target PC's IP address, confirm the port, and select either DATA Transfer or Tomey Link as the output method. | Common ports are often default values (e.g., Port 4001). Use the device's "Connection Test" feature to verify the link. | | 5. Software Installation | On the receiving PC, install the necessary software (either "DATA Transfer" or "TOMEY Link" server/client) from the CD provided with the instrument or a download from Tomey. | Follow the installation wizard. Ensure the software is configured to listen on the correct network port. | | 6. Workflow Configuration | Patient ID : It is highly recommended to enter a unique patient ID before each exam. Data sent without an ID may be mishandled or become difficult to trace. External ID Input : For faster operation, connect a barcode or magnetic card reader to the device or the network to scan patient IDs. | Navigate the device's software to enable and configure external ID input devices. | Tomey Data Transfer Software
Modern clinics use a variety of management systems. Tomey Data Transfer Software typically supports multiple export options, making it compatible with major EMR providers. It can save results to specific network folders where your EMR can "auto-import" the files. How the Data Transfer Process Works
Check which Tomey models you own (TMS-5, OA-2000, CASIA2, RT-7000). Not all legacy devices support network export. The software typically comes in two forms: In
The software can be configured to run silently in the background. As soon as a clinician completes a measurement and hits "Print" or "Send" on the Tomey device, the software automatically captures the data and routes it to a designated network folder or a connected EMR hot-folder. 4. DICOM and HL7 Integration Capabilities
: Depending on the specific device model, the software manages data communication using various protocols: Choose Your Path | Decide between "DATA Transfer"
The Tomey device is connected to a local PC or the clinic network via an RS-232C serial cable, a USB interface, or a LAN/Ethernet connection.
: Uses protocols like X-modem or Z-modem to transfer data via cable.
